To keep Church books accessible on iPad or Android tablets (or phones), download the free Deseret Bookshelf app. You can purchase books from Deseret Book, and you also get a bunch of free books (8) just by downloading the app.

So your little kids have an iPod touch? Or maybe they like to use your Android phone or iPhone, or iPad? Well the good news is there are a lot of good apps that get them to have fun while learning about the gospel.

Should you pay for apps that charge you for LDS material that’s normally free? Well, the answer is that it depends on if you can get it WITHOUT paying for it. In many cases you CAN get it for free, or get it included in an app that does multiple things. Look around before you commit to spending money.

The Church has released LDS Tools, which is a FREE app that accesses the Stake’s information from LDS.org, pulling it down into the app for you (and keeps it up-to-date). Similar to the MyLDS Stake app, it has a directory, callings, events/calendar and custom lists.

Leaders have new tools to help them on the road, or anywhere they don’t have their directories, calendars or computers with them. These new mobile apps give them access to all kinds of Ward, Stake and member information.
